Advice From Dunn Transmissions
"Tire Trick"
Imagine this: Your 2004 Ford Explorer is beginning to act up and everyone you know warns you that your transmission is on its last leg. What’s worse, you get your general mechanic to check your vehicle’s computer for codes and find a stored code for a gear ratio error. Fortunately, your mechanic recommends that you come to our shop, where Steve Boyd takes the SUV for a free test drive. While inspecting it, Steve notices you have two new tires, and he believes he has found the real source of your problem. Believe it or not, the slight difference in tread depth when you replace only two tires can fool the modern vehicle’s sensitive computer into thinking you have a serious problem. Now for the relatively minor cost of a full set of new tires, your trusty truck is back on the road. Trusting the experts can really pay off. |
